What I'm Really Saying

A L O H A !
 

 However long the night

The dawn will break   

                       African Proverb 

" The colors of the rainbow 

so pretty in the sky

And also on the faces 

of people passing by

I see friends shaking hands 

saying 'How do you do?'

They're really saying 

I, 

I love you "

"My work is not accidental 

and not planned. "
                    Hans Hofmann 

I like the man seen 

through the rip in the fence!

When eating vegetables, 

remember the one 

who planted them.

                    Chinese Proverb

]\[

I even invented

a term for it:

"Grooming Language."

When primates are

together, they

groom one another.

Simple enough.

But when the job

is done,

they carry on

touching, stroking,

attending.

This "Grooming Behavior"

strengthens social bonds

and health.

I have not 

combed out my 

neighbors-

BUT

The routine things

we say,

that have no

practical utility

are Grooming Language.

No one needs

to say it's a cold

[or hot] day"

And few really

CARE about 

"How is your day going"?

In New York

it is quick:

"How you doin?"

And the answer

is: "Good."

Just as quick,

but effective.

"God be with you"

['Good bye']

"Aloha"

O Genki Desu Ka?

[How is your health?]

May seem routine,

even pointless sometimes.

As pointless as breathing

over and OVER again!

So How's it goin'?

What I'm really saying?

I Love You,

Friend!
